Hot High Tech Stocks For 2018

Support is building within the OPEC to extend its oil production cuts beyond June.

Senior Gulf officials tell CNNMoney a proposal is in the works. It is said to have the support of a key OPEC committee that is responsible for monitoring countries, and ensuring they are complying with an agreement to reduce oil output.

“There is no formal proposal from Saudi Arabia but one is taking shape in the monitoring committee,” one official said. “There’s strong support in the monitoring committee.”

The options on the table are whether to extend the cuts by three months or six, the official said. Oil prices have been rising for a week on speculation about the cuts.

In December, OPEC and non-OPEC producers agreed to cut output by 1.8 million barrels per day for six months to help stabilize oil prices. The monitoring committee, led by Kuwait, which consists of both OPEC and non-OPEC members said last month it has been satisfied with the compliance levels.
